When water recedes

9/26/2023 (Permalink)

When the water that’s collected in your home recedes, the moisture from the damage is difficult to detect. This is the main reason why homes are sensitive to water damage. Microbial growth can begin within 24 hours of the damage due to standing water and can saturate different types of textiles and can seep through your drywall. The moisture has the ability to collect behind walls and create troublesome mold and bacteria out of the sight of occupants. If you react quickly, you may be able to save items such as clothes and furniture. But make sure to be very careful when entering a building that has recently been flooded. Any exposure to wildlife and contaminated water that may have accompanied the flooding could result in serious injury.

Flooding - During a strong rainstorm, water can penetrate the roof shingles and leak into you home. Nearby lakes, rivers or even streams can overflow and cause flooding that can wreak havoc on your property.

Whatever the case, water that seeps into your home will cause damage. Water can rot wood and cause mold growth that will add up to costly repairs. 

Burst Pipes - Most people do not examine the condition of the pipes in their home, nor do they know what a worn out pipe looks like. It may be worth it to hire an expert to evaluate the condition of the pipes in your home. 

Sewer Backup - Heavy rains can lead to sewer backup that leave your home full of sewage. The smell alone is bad enough, but this problem can affect the foundation of your home. Any type of water damage can negatively affect the value of your property.

Different types of water

5/26/2022 (Permalink)

There are three types of water:

Clean Water

This is water from a source such as rainwater.  Water from a broken pipe is also considered a source of clean water damage.

Gray Water

This is slightly contaminated water.  When stormwater is left untreated, bacteria and other contaminants begin to grow and cause a problem.  This can occur with water from a pipe leak or other plumbing issue as well.

Black Water

This is highly contaminated and dangerous water that is filled with fungi, bacteria, or even chemicals.  Sewage and floodwater are two common forms of this type of damage.

When you are faced with clean stormwater damage, be sure to turn off the circuit breakers in the damaged areas of the building, and do not enter those areas.  Remove excess water and move items that may be sensitive to moisture such as artwork and computer equipment.  When the water damage is caused from a plumbing issue, shut off the water source or have a certified professional do so. 

When the stormwater is contaminated, stay clear of the areas and allow a biohazard professional to handle the cleanup properly.  Do not turn on the HVAC system or use fans to dry the affected areas, since the air can potentially spread the contaminants.  Discard any items that have been affected by the damage.

SERVPRO of Middletown Springboro can handle all forms of water and storm damage in our area.  We also specialize in biohazard events where contaminated water is present.  Often, advanced cleaning techniques are necessary to fully restore the affected areas when this type of damage is involved.

No matter the kind of storm damage you may suffer, SERVPRO of Middletown Springboro is always here.
